PETER REAGAN.

Peter Reagan, the well-known proprietor of Hotel Reagan at Lawrence- burg, Indiana, is one of the most popular hotel keepers in southern Indiana. Mr. Reagan's popularity, however, is not confined altogether to the traveling public, who come to Lawrenceburg as his guests. Mr. Reagan is a popular and widely admired citizen of Lawrenceburg, in Dearborn county, and is well known from one end of the county to the other. In this section of the state it may be truly said that Mr. Reagan is quite as .well known and quite as popular with the people who live here and who are not transient guests at the hotel. Mr. Reagan has striven hard for success and in the prime of life enjoys the satisfaction of knowing that his success is to be computed with no small measure. Mr. Reagan's parents were pioneers in this section of the state, the name Reagan having been identified with the life of this section since 1852, when his father settled at Lawrenceburg.

Peter Reagan was born at Cochran, now a part of Aurora, and known as West Aurora, Dearborn county, Indiana, May 31, 1870. He is the son of Michael D. and Bridget (Hickey) Reagan, who were natives of Ireland. Michael D. Reagan was a native of County Kerry, and his wife of Bridge- town, County Clare. Of their children, Peter is the only one who grew to manhood. Michael D. Reagan during his life was a man who was much loved by the people of Dearborn county. He was reared and educated in Ireland, and after coming to America in 1852, settled at Lawrenceburg. He attended night school under Miss Jennie Beach, and during the first few years of his residence in this country was the "water boss" on the White Water Valley canal. In the meantime, however, he had taken to railroading, and having learned this thoroughly followed it until his death in 1893. At the time Michael Reagan passed away he was sixty-eight years old. Mrs. Michael Reagan is still living. She was born on December 25, 1840, and is now seventy-five years old. She has a vivid recollection of many interesting, important and thrilling events of the early history of Lawrenceburg and Aurora, and is entertaining as a conversationalist. She tells pioneer stories

with a dramatic finish characteristic, not only of pioneer woman, but charac- teristic of her people, who are rated as the best story tellers among all the peoples of the earth. Mrs. Michael Reagan is a member of the Catholic church, as was her deceased husband. He was the first Irish trustee of St. Law- rence church, at Lawrenceburg, and assisted by a few others, helped to build the church. In those times very little money was available and personal effort and labor counted most. Michael Reagan assisted in the construction of the church by digging out stones from the quarry and carrying them to the build- ing. He was a good Christian man and during his entire life was a faithful attendant at church.

Six years after the arrival of Michael Reagan in this country his parents. Peter and Bridget (Delaney) Reagan came to the United States. They were the grandparents of Peter Reagan. the subject of this sketch. Arriving in this country in 1858 from County Kerry, Ireland, they settled in Lawrence- burg. A few years later both passed away. They lived to ripe ages, Peter Reagan, Sr., having died when ninety-six years old, and his wife when only a few years younger. He was a farmer in his native country, and reared a large family, consisting of the following children, Peter, Dennis. Patrick, Michael, Margaret, Johannah, Catherine, Bridget and Honora. Mr. Reagan's maternal grandparents, who were also of Irish birth, never came to this country. Thomas Hickey and his wife, Mary (Hayes) Hickey. had two chil- dren, Mrs. Michael D. Reagan and John, both of whom came to America after the death of the father. After living a short time in Cincinnati with her brother, Mrs. Reagan came to Lawrenceburg and has made her home here ever since. Thomas Hickey, Mr. Reagan's maternal grandfather, was the son of Simon and Mary (Sullivan) Hickey.

Peter Reagan was reared in Lawrenceburg, and attended the parochial school until thirteen years old. He then went to work in a stove foundry and learned the trade of a stove mounter. He next worked in a carriage factory, in a livery stable and at various odd jobs and pursuits. For two years he was in the employ of Major Feeney and his sister, Catherine Steven- son, proprietors of the Stevenson hotel, and at the end of that time leased the hotel in 1897. He ran it for three years, and afterward sold out. A few months later he started what is now known as the New Central Hotel, and ran it as the Reagan Hotel for four years. He then purchased the old Ste- venson Hotel, refurnished and remodeled it and has run it to the present with marked success.

The Reagan is a first-class hotel, its reputation as such being known far and wide. It is lighted with gas and electric lights, and is comfortably heated

with a fine hot water system, which keeps the house warm and at an even temperature in the coldest weather. The table is unexcelled by any hotel in southern Indiana, while the rooms are models of neatness and comfort. The cleanliness of the house is remarked by everyone, and the rates are satisfactory to discriminating minds. Mr. Reagan is a thorough hotel man and popular. He is familiarly known by the "knights of the grip" as "Pete." If it is true that there are doctors, lawyers and preachers, who are born to their pro- fession (and we all believe it is), then Mr. Reagan is born to his vocation as a hotel man. Genial, kind-hearted and attentive to the wants and com- fort of his guests, he is ever on the alert to accommodate them, and make them feel that his house is a "home" to the traveling man. But "Pete" is not enti- tled to all the credit; for, with all his ability, what could he do without the assistance of his efficient wife, who has always been a wise counselor and a faithful helpmate in the making of the Hotel Reagan a model hotel? Mrs. Reagan is a lady of refinement and womanly grace and has been the landlady during all of her husband's hotel career.

Mr. and Mrs. Reagan were married on July 18, 1893. Before her mar- riage Mrs. Reagan was Matilda Adeline Bonfer, daughter of William and Magdalena (Voss) Bonfer. They have one son, Charles Michael Reagan, who is now a young man and a general favorite with every one. He attended the public and high schools of Lawrenceburg and is now attending the Univer- sity of Notre Dame, near South Bend, Indiana, where he is a student of chemistry.

Mrs. Peter Reagan was born near Milan, in Ripley county, Indiana, Feb- ruary 10, 1867. Her parents, William and Magdalena (Voss) Bonfer, were born in Hanover, Germany. Mrs. Bonfer came to America in 1843, and Mr. Bonfer in 1848. They lived in Cincinnati a short time with their parents and then removed to Ripley county, where Mrs. Bonfer died in 1910, at the age of sixty-nine. Mr. Bonfer is still living near Milan. They had eleven chil- dren : Mary Dorothy, Matilda Adaline; John Frederick, deceased; Elizabeth, deceased, who married James Hallowell; Henry, William and Frank, twins; and four who died in infancy. Mrs. Peter Reagan's paternal grandfather was John Frederick Bonfer, who married Marie Ahlers. They were farmers and lived near Sunman, Indiana, where they passed away. He died at the age of eighty-two and she at the age of eighty-seven years. Their three children were William, Henry and John. Mrs. Reagan's maternal grand- parents died in Ripley county and were buried near Sunman. They had six children, Henry, Mrs. Mary Ash, Mrs. Matilda Price, Mrs. Sophia Hinners Magdalena and Elizabeth.

Mr. Reagan is a member of the Catholic church. Mrs. Reagan is a mem- ber of the Lutheran church. Mr. Reagan is a Democrat in politics. Few men perhaps are able to see first hand and study more phases of human nature than the hotel keeper. No stronger testimonial can be written in praise of the life and characteristics of a hotel man than to say that he is able to please his guests. Peter Reagan has been able to do this and he has been able to do it with an amazing degree of success. This perhaps is the finest tribute which can be paid to his personal character and his business qualifications.

Tabor. He stayed with his uncle two years. He then went to work in a printing office at Aurora, Indiana, in which Tom Cobb was editor.

ERNEST O. MARLOWE.

The attention of the reader is now directed to a brief sketch of the career of Ernest O. Marlowe, the efficient letter-carrier of Lawrenceburg, Dear- born county, Indiana. Mr. Marlowe is well-known and universally liked in his. resident city, having lived here for a number of years and although a young man, he bears the confidence and respect of the entire community on account of the exemplary life which he leads. He is a man of industrious and studious habits, possessing a library of valuable books of which he is an earnest student.

Ernest O. Marlowe was born near Greensburg, Indiana, August 28, 1888, a son of William and Clara ( Mozingo) Marlowe, he a native of Ohio and she of this state. There were four children in their family, the immedi- ate subject of this sketch being the eldest, Frank and John, of Strawn, Kan- sas, and Rose, a teacher in the public schools at Fort Scott, Kansas.
